Missions Leadership Team
The Missions Leadership Team of Heritage Church is comprised of the Missions Pastor,
the Lead Pastor, the Executive Pastor, and a liaison from the Heritage Church
Leadership Team (HCLT) appointed by the HCLT. The liaison will serve until the HCLT
appoints a replacement. The team is responsible for overseeing the missions vision of
the church. The team will meet a minimum of three times per year.
The areas of focus for church missions are local, national, and global. Therefore, the missions budget is delineated among those three areas with certain mission administrative costs included as part of the budget.
At the writing of this policy, the church has established that a minimum of 12% of the previous years annual general fund giving will be spent on missions in the next budget year. The proposed missions budget is to be presented to the HCLT by October 31 for the next calendar year budget cycle. The Missions Pastor has the primary responsibility for crafting the annual budget with input from the Missions Leadership Team. Before submission to the HCLT for final approval, the budget must gain preliminary approval at a meeting of the Missions Leadership Team.
Each year, the budget will include a section for “non-budgeted itemsâ€. The purpose of this category is to allow for expenditures that arise during the course of the budget cycle. The Missions Pastor may approve any non-budgeted funding requests under $1,000.00 but limited to $2,000.00 in a one month time period. The Missions Leadership Team must approve non-budgeted funding requests over $1,000.00. This type approval can take place through “polling†of the Missions Leadership Team. All financial disbursements must be documented.
For added guidance and covering over the Mission Pastor and the Mission Leadership Team, the Leadership Team Liaison will monitor the disbursement of funds on a monthly and annual basis.
This policy was adopted by the Heritage Church Leadership Team at a regular meeting held on December 19, 2016.
